Biodiversity is usually considered a good thing, but in this case the abundance of tiny life is speeding up ice melting, and likely causing global se
11、a level to rise faster than scientists have predicted.Cook says the tiny life forms he studies are contributing to the problem. One of these organisms is an alga (海藻) that grows in the thin layer of water on the surface of the ice. It produces a purplebrown pigment (色素) which acts “like a natural su

The same thing happens on the ice,” say
